Definitely not small, our website is down so we can't do any business and we're a huge company. Multiply that by all the companies that are down, lost time on projects, time to get caught up once it's fixed, it'll be a huge number in the end.
GDP is typically stated by the year. One or two days lost, even if it was 100% of the GDP for those days, would still be less than 1% of GDP for the year.
I know people who work at major corporations who said they were down for a bit, it's pretty huge.
Does your web server run windows? Or is it dependent on some systems that run Windows? I would hope nobody's actually running a web server on Windows these days.
I have a absolutely no idea. Not my area of expertise.
